Surprise!

For Brett's 38th birthday I decided it would be fun to surprise him with a little xbox party! He always says that birthday's are no big deal, but I wanted to prove him wrong. I think he LOVED it!! I invited a few friends and asked them to bring their xbox's. My brother Lance and Brett's best friend Jake brought down our second TV from in our room and then Lance brought over his TV as well. yes, that's a total of 3 TV's to play xbox on!! After we surprised Brett with his favorite Papa Murphey's pizza, a DQ cake and candy galore, the girls and I took off to spend the night at a friends house! (Thanks Emily!) The boys were able to party ALL NIGHT LONG!! And into the wee hours of the morning!! Brett said he stayed up til 4:30am:) Go Brett! Happy Birthday honey! You are an amazing man and we love you!! I hope you know how much you are appreciated and how much you mean to us!!! LOVE YOU!! Brady, Jake, Brett, Matt and Lance. Oh, Rachel sneaked in there too:) Not pictured: Mountain Dew

I think I'll just post some of my favorites once a month or so from my darling models and their wardrobes:) I just can't help myself!! I love this jacket of Rachel's!! I wish I had one that cute:):) Brett thinks this is too 70's, but I love it! This one is for Grandma Kathy. Cute shirt Grandma! Monkey shirt and monkey girl:) Jayden's in the background with shorts. I think it's time to pack those away already! I absolutely LOVE this apple dress!! I thought I lost my chance at getting it, but good old Gymboree also sells their previous Fall line at the outlets:) Too cute!!

Brett and I would switch off taken Jayden swimming and she just loved being with her dad! Here are more fun pictures of swimming. This pictures remind me why I want a better camera!

Our Ladybug Turned Two!

What a blast we had at Jayden's second birthday party! It was a little crazier than I thought it was going to be, but it was so much fun!!! Since we were rained out from our backyard, we had a backup plan: the church! Since we couldn't play in the backyard, I brought some of the backyard tot he church, yes, I'm just that crazy! Enjoy the plethora of photos! Our ladybug family! yummy fruit kabobs our ladybug cake! (it looks like some fingers snuck a taste of the frosting!) yummy cupcakes for the kids! I love Red Vines! Pulled Pork sandwiches, sooo good! Aren't my utensils cute? hungry for a ladybug? open faced sandwiches for the kiddos:) fruit and veggies gifts and drinks (yes, that's a ladybug sandbox holding the drinks!)

Evelyn and JuJu Obviously someone ruined something they worked hard at creating! I love it! Jayden loves balloons! Look how pretty her hair is:) Will Thompson, so cute! Jack Nedry having a blast at the water table! Much of the gang hanging out. The water table proved to be the most popular! Jayden loves being chased! More of the group! Time to make a wish Jayden! She started out slow and then... Tada! Time for presents! This is how Jayden was during most of the present unwrapping. Not so easy to unwrap presents this way! She loved these little shoes and so much more, but there has to be an end somewhere!! Thanks Angela for taking all the pictures for me! You are wonderful!
